This year, the Faculty of Society and the Environment has enjoyed an active year of scholastic achievement and success. The students results reflect a committed an industrious group of young men who have taken up the challenge to seize the opportunities the school offers specifically in the academic area. The faculty theme, set up some eight years ago of“Life Long Learning” continues to play a solid foundation at Terrace Staff, have spent much time this year in program rewrites with new syllabus in Modern History, Legal Studies and Geography.

The importance of Humanities subjects is recognised in an area requiring important decision making, communication and visioning in major companies. The importance of professional development of the staff has been a high priority within the Faculty.

The importance of networking with Universities, Companies and Government Departments has assisted in providing a broader education for students. With the departure of Mr Robert Wrathall to Bond University, we welcomed Mr Brad Carter. With the opening of Waterford Place, the pace came thick and fast, and teaching staff rose to the challenge.

I thank all thirty faculty teachers who have done an excellent job in preparing students for the continuing phases of this learning especially coordinators Richard, Amanda and Michael
